Great experience - My husband and I went on this tour with another couple friend of ours. It was such a great way to explore a bit with a guide. The hike was right up my alley as it was more of a casual nature walk (flip flops were ok) and the natural swimming pool was beautiful and relaxing. Our guide, Edgardo, was knowledgeable and fun. He took some photos of us as well, which we really appreciated.

Fun Time - Very fortunate to have had Alexis as the tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about this special water hole deep within a mountainous jungle. Alexis also knows the best locations to find delicious roast pork. This is definitely a fun time

Jean Louis gives great tours - Jean Louis was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced. Mind you, I’ve encountered ample “meh” tour guides. He is very attentive and accommodating. Right from the beginning he was very welcoming of us being a few minutes tardy due to traffic. He then made sure we not only went to Charco Azul, but he assisted my mother on the hike. My mother has arthritis in her knee and he was so patient with her during the hike and assisted her in muddy/rocky areas. Then based on conversation he ascertained that we hadn’t seen a beach we loved yet in PR. He was more than willing to change plans and get us to a sandy beautiful beach with big waves. He is not only amicable, but he’s: patient, kind, respectful, honest and attentive. I would recommend Jean Louis for a tour any day. We had a great day enjoying his company.

Fun experience! - This was a fun trip. Our tour guide was Jean. He was flexible and accommodating to us. He gave us some interesting information about the island and the culture. He encouraged us to practice our Spanish. Charco Azul was very nice. The water was cold, but it felt refreshing. There were lots of little fish in the pool nibbling us, which was very interesting. I researched it, and I think they are wild guppies. The food we got was great too.

One of a kind experience - We were able to get a one on one experience with a local who loved PR's nature and food. We loved getting to know the island in a more personal way. Unfortunately, nature wasn't on our side and the water wasn't incredibly clear but that's to be expected when dealing with the outdoors.

Surprised - The tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. I did not expect to be picked up in a 4 door car. It was myself, my husband and another couple. It was a very uncomfortable trip.
